Well, I used to crochet when I was younger with no kids. And recently I've noticed that crochet flowers are used on Scrapbook pages and cards. What was kind of surprising for me that they are actually sold and not that cheap at all. So I thought why don't I give it a try and see what they look like if I make my own. When started I could not stop.

I have to say thanks to You Tube once again as the instructions I can find online are not good for me, I don't understand all these stitches' explanations, I used diagrams all the time. Watching a video is so simple and pausing it when I need time to finish stitches and counting.

I made this card for my dear friend Joy from Cricut MB. I used BoBunny Paper which really makes this card so beautiful. The butterfly and words are from Give A Hoot. Small butterflies are punches. I added some glossy accents onto Prima flowers and dipped them in Dazzling Diamonds. I love the sugary look. There are two crocheted flowers that I made myself. I will post pictures of other flowers in a separate post. Enjoy!
